What's new

South Africa (145/8) crash out of T20 World Cup 2022 after shock defeat to Netherlands (158/4)

There is defos some slowness to this pitch. Not the normal bouncy fast pitch that you would expect. Maybe bags why saf bowlers not being as effective yet.
 
Netherlands have a good bowling attack. Their weakness is batting.

So, if they can score 160+, they have a chance.
 
Netherland should play nortje sensibly don't take risk against him
 
Netherlands and South Africa met only once before.

2014 World T20.

South Africa won that game by 6 runs. Barely won.
 
SA might have made a blunder here bowling first

160 and NL’s bowlers will feel they can defend it
 
Uncle Myburgh should be picked in platinum category in PSL and be given honorary citizenship for his services today.
 
So far so good for Netherlands. Negotiated the powerplay at a good run rate without losing any wicket.

Netherlands - 48/0 (6 overs).
 
Great start and no wickets lost nortje and Maharaj can be dangerous
 
Third of the inns gone, no wkts lost and good no. of runs. The lads need to keep this up.
 
2 slow overs by us. We need to start hitting the accelerator now, all wickets still in hand.
 
The shackles will break. Definitely a slow spinning pitch. Markham will probably take pressure of the fast bowlers and get sum quick overs in
 
Oh Myburgh, keep the ball down, no air shots lads!
 
One of these batsmen need to take some chances now. It's a slow pitch that's for sure
